FT8 – A “Different” Mode for me
I have been operating some FT8 over the past few months. Technically, I find the mode very interesting as I have worked in Digital Communications for many years.

FTDX3000 USB Virtual COM Ports
Setup of the USB interface with the FTDX3000 is very simple but it can seem confusing. It is only confusing because people may not be familiar with the idea of a Virtual COM Port, which only exists inside the USB connection between the FTDX3000 and the PC.
